What is Nasus

So Nasus, the champion that scales in so amazingly around 35 mins and continues to scale into unlimited damage until he has single handedly torn every tower you own and inhibitor down with 3 qs... But he's also the champion who can just buy sheen first item in lane and two hit you at level 5... No matter who you play. Nasus is capable of soloing you at or before 6 no matter your pick. For example, go riven, an extremely perfect Nasus counter. Two cc abilites, tons of base damage and great scaling, as well as good execution damage at 6. That's nice until nasus gets two cloth armors and sustains so hard you're hiding under tower with half hp and no way to farm as he carelessly dives after lifestealing back 90% of his health. My point is, if played right, this champion has absolutely no weaknesses. His base damage with sheen is great enough where he can outtrade melees, his movement speed with w makes him basically unkiteable without the perfect pick and itemization. So seriously, can something be done about this? He's 100% unhealthy for the game, especially in lower elos where your quinn top goes 0 and 9 against him.

He has literally 0 mobility. He also is farm reliant. Snowball your other lanes with jungler attention and force teamfights around towers and objectives, most nasus players will stay top the entire game. Know when his teleport is down, and fight then.

Those are Nasus' strengths to be sure. However, as a ranged, he should be easily harrassed. I imagine that Quinn was either lacking experience in Quinn or didn't know you make Nasus fight for every CS.

His weaknesses are that he doesn't help teamfights a lot. He needs a lot of farm. I was told his early levels are hard as well. He's definitely a juggernaut (I don't know why he wasn't mentioned in the juggernaut update but...). Hope this helps.

"Nasus is capable of soloing you at or before 6 no matter your pick."

I... I don't even know what to say... Nasus soloing you before 6 no matter who you pick... You haven't played very long, have you?
